MEDALLION RECEPTION    

The Honors College Medallion Reception is a celebration of all the students who graduated in Honors that academic year. Students receive their Honors Medallions and get to connect with the Honors community one last time. The Medallion Reception features catering, swag, programs, recorded remarks from the Honors College Outstanding Seniors, and a photo booth where students can take photos with faculty, family, and friends.

WAKE UP WITH HONORS

Wake Up with Honors (WUWH) is a biweekly Honors College event where Honors students can have breakfast and connect with their community. WUWH features catered breakfast and coffee, swag items, and occasionally a short presentation on a topic relevant to the Honors community. Students are encouraged to attend this event as frequently as they are able; it's a great time to come to faculty or staff with questions, or just relax and have friendly conversations. The day and time of the event is decided at the beginning of each semester via a poll sent out to all Honors students.

HONORS FORMAL

The Honors formal is an annual event organized and designed by Honors student leaders. The specifics of the event are up to that year's committee, but typically this event features food, music, and a theme that attendees can have fun with. The formal is held in the spring.
